Resources

[Here, you should include a list of primary and secondary sources as well as other materials you will be using in the class. Attach all handouts and readings you will use for this lesson to the curricular unit.]

Chap. 2.3 Manifest Destiny and Crisis Outline

Warm Up

Get out your notebooks and textbooks and turn to page 192. Using the Outline Handout as usual, review this section with your group and fill it in. Remember, as always, you should concentrate on the Big Ideas in each section and sum them up in brief, short, snippets.

You should include dates, places, events, causes, outcomes, people, connections to what you have already learned and what you may already know, and anything else of significance that you can think of.

In twenty minutes we will discuss this together. I will need a Moderator and a Scribe to volunteer.

Chap. 2.3 Manifest Destiny and Crisis Outline

Practice

Students will work in groups to review their booknotes from the previous night and reformat them, essentially distilling them down to their essence.

Afterwards, using a white board, a Moderator from each of the groups will take turns leading a short discussoin about each of the various sections (see handout) while a Scribe will write down the notes on the board.

We will continue round robin style until we have completed Chapter 2.3

Assessment

Students will turn in their Ouline Notes for this Section.

Closure and Reflection

You should have a good idea of the issues that developed because of the ideas of Manifest Destiny. In many ways it will be the reason for two wars; The War with Mexico in 1845, and the Civil War that began in 1861. Please read and annotate the two handouts I have given you. There is a connection between Dr. King and David Thoreau and in what they wrote. For that matter, where they wrote them is intersting as well. Please do a bit of research and see if you can come up with any of those connections.
